A So, ialist society Is the only true Anti
Poverty society.
This Socialist League Is formed to ad
vance the fundamental principles Of Social
Ism, which are as follows:
The main cause Of all misery, poverty
vice and crime lies In the artificial environ
ments which surround the individual. Th'
only way to abolish these Is to change tn,
environment. This environm ent consists ir
privileges granted to control and monopo
lize natural resources, the tools Of pl0duc
tion, the mediums Of exchange, tr 'nsporta
tion and communication by which they hav'
fastened upon us our Iniqultous wage system
The way to cnange this environment Is Il
destroy the legalized power to control all
these things which entails upon industry re
striction Of the enjoyment Of the fruits Of
production, and holds our lives subject to thu
Inn Law OF Wages.
They should properly be controlled co

might be gratified. The commander Of

gardens n large basin and lined it with
marble. At some distance from the bath
was built n shelteiIng wall. some thirty
feet high, with sentry boxes on the top
for the guardian eunuchs, and. ut about
100 feet from the wall on the other side,

shall retain control Of the executive de-

whether the country shall run the risk of
